Sandspiel is a falling sand game built in Rust (via wasm), webgl, and some JS glueing things together.
The goal is to produce an cellular automata environment that’s interesting to play with and supports the sharing and forking of fun creations with other players. In each game, you’re given a pallette of virtual solids, liquids, and gasses, and it’s up to you to paint them onto the screen to discover how they interact.
The system is engaging not just for its actual depth, but also because of the ways your imagination sees reality reflected in it. Predicting how a scenario will play out based on your physical intuition is a form of play, as is projecting your imagination over what you see represented on screen. Much like playing with dolls or other simplistic model, the pixels flowing around on the screen are stand ins for the story you tell yourself about them.
